After being left at the altar, Jade Roberts seeks solace at her best friend's ranch on the Colorado western slope. Her humiliation still ripe, she doesn't expect to be attracted to her friend's reticent brother, but when the gorgeous cowboy kisses her, all bets are off.

Talon Steel is broken. Having never fully healed from a horrific childhood trauma, he simply exists, taking from women what is offered and giving nothing in return...until Jade Roberts catapults into his life. She is beautiful, sweet, and giving, and his desire for her becomes a craving he fears he'll never be able to satisfy.

Passion sizzles between the two lovers...but long-buried secrets haunt them both and may eventually tear them apart.

Helen Hardt’s passion for the written word began with the books her mother read to her at bedtime. She wrote her first story at age six and hasn’t stopped since. In addition to being an award-winning author of contemporary and historical romance and erotica, she’s a mother, a black belt in Taekwondo, a grammar geek, an appreciator of fine red wine, and a lover of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. She writes from her home in Colorado where she lives with her family. Helen loves to hear from readers.

Talon Steel is a tortured soul, and Jade Roberts is the only balm his soul has ever felt. The bond that grows between them is undeniable, but that is exactly what Talon tries to do. Deny it. A haunted past keeps Talon from ever feeling worthy of life, happiness, and least of all love. Jade wants nothing more than to heal his broken wings. The push and pull between these two is palpable from the very beginning. You can feel it grow, and surge to powerful heights, only to be dropped to the ground again in a moment. The suspense of waiting to see what will happen next is intense….and sometimes the outcome is absolutely soul shattering. I sobbed along with Jade, I was tormented alongside Talon. Ms. Hardt wove an incredible story of deceit, terror, disappointment, passion, love, and hope. Many secrets are still hidden, and the cliffhanger left me absolutely gutted and scrounging for more! I sincerely hope Ms. Hardt is finished with Obsession (book two), or writes fast…..I need more Talon and Jade, and I need them yesterday!
